The relationship of physical exercise and social adaptability of adolescents.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study evaluates the association between physical exercise and social adaptability in adolescents, focusing on the mediating roles of self-efficacy and psychological resilience in this relationship. A comprehensive methodology was employed, including a literature review, questionnaire surveys, and statistical analyses. A total of 1280 adolescents were recruited via convenience sampling and filled out the study's questionnaires. The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS, AMOS, and Excel. Descriptive statistics were first conducted to determine the sample's representativeness, particularly concerning categorical variables such as grade level, gender, and age. Subsequently, correlation analyses, path analyses, and mediation effect tests were performed to explore the relationships and pathways among physical exercise, social adaptability, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience. Physical exercise showed a significant direct positive association with social adaptability (β = 0.173, p < .001). Mediation analyses revealed three significant indirect paths: (1) through self-efficacy alone (indirect effect = 0.153, 95% CI [0.053, 0.248]); (2) through psychological resilience alone (indirect effect = 0.538, 95% CI [0.397, 0.734]); and (3) a chain mediation path where physical exercise was associated with higher self-efficacy, which in turn was associated with greater psychological resilience, ultimately leading to better social adaptability (indirect effect = 0.230, 95% CI [0.161, 0.320]). Physical exercise is directly associated with adolescents' social adaptability, and this association is also indirectly explained by the separate mediating effects of self-efficacy and psychological resilience. Moreover, physical exercise was associated with social adaptability via a chain of mediation involving both self-efficacy and psychological resilience.
